I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience in the behavioral health field. My expertise includes working with those in the midst of crisis and emergency situations. This being said, there are benefits in beginning treatment before crises arise, and my goal is to equip individuals with tools to better cope with future obstacles. 

I take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that lifestyle and physical health play a significant role in overall well-being. In my practice, I incorporate strategies like exercise, nutrition, and sleep to enhance mental wellness, believing that taking care of the body is an essential part of mental health recovery. 

Collaboration is key to my approach— I strive to work alongside my patients as partners in their care. I encourage shared decision-making and empower individuals to be active participants in their treatment plans. By fostering a strong sense of trust and autonomy, I aim to create a space where patients feel heard and supported throughout their journey. 

I am passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals of all ages. While I specialize in working with transitional youth and adults, I also am prepared to work with a diverse range of patients, addressing a variety of mental health concerns across the lifespan. I understand the unique challenges young people face and enjoy supporting them as they build resilience and navigate mental health challenges. 

My goal is to provide evidence-based care that promotes mental wellness and helps people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
